The end of an era.

Friday morning. At approximately, 2:15 am, I finished watching what I invested 12 years of my life into. Harry Potter finally ended. And as such a part of my life did as well. I began reading the series when I was 9/10 years old, in the 5th grade and really having trouble understanding life. But as I grew up, along with my classmates, Harry Potter grew up with us. And it always seemed that the things he was going through as a teenager, albeit a little differently (he was a WIZARD for lords sake), there was still the same feelings he had as "normal" teenagers. Liking someone and not sure how they feel about you. And trying to keep your friendships intact. Little things in life that we all end up having to conquer. And so now, as Harry has seem to grown up, I feel like I have to grow up as well. And its scary to know that you have to grow up. But I guess that's life right? So thank you JK Rowling and Harry Potter for the past 12 years. You've given me so much and I'll never forget the lessons I've learned from you

Number 78.

So last night I went through the bucket list again and realized that I could cross something off.

So I may not have actually brought home any money (I actually lost 40 dollars). But(!) at one point I was up on the cruise. And therefore I had won at a casino :)

What. A. Week.

So for the fact that I have been on a cruise the past few days is why this may end up being a very long post.

A) Something that would be of good knowledge to most:

When you and your roommate are making margaritas, and the ice is frozen together, sanitize a hammer and go crazy.

Second on the list: College World Series. As a Gamecock fan I would like to say congrats to the South Carolina Gamecock Baseball team and that I was pacing the living room and making my roommate nervous. Heres the picture of me after it was official.

Way to go boys...Back to Back!

Part 3. Cruise with the BF
Thursday, Jordan and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas aboard the Carnival Fascination. We went to Nassau and Freeport which was a good way to get Jordan acquainted with the Bahamas as this was his first cruise. This was my fourth. So for Jordan's birthday and as his gift from me, we ended up doing a catamaran and snorkeling in Freeport. He saw a Barracuda...and failed to tell me that that was part of the reason he got out of the water while I stayed in. Always good right? We ate and ate and ate. We drank. We laughed. I can already tell you that we're ready to start planning the next trip. (That will probably be a decision that needs to be made in the next few months or so)

I've already decided what ship I want to go on next :)

This ship was actually used in Pirates of the Caribbean 3. So therefore, its pretty awesome.

The things that they can make out of coconuts...

One night at dinner. Pastels are awesome. 

Got back to our room and this was our towel animal...I think it was a seal...
